CUPID CREATES HAVOC.
Matrimonial Ventures of Two
Families Who Merge Into One.

There was performed at Fayetteville,
Ca, recently before Justice Tomlin
marriage ceremony which is the culmi-
nation of remarkable series OF matri-
monial ventures. The parties thereto
were Nathan Starnes and Mrs. Eliza
Handy. In cosy farm houses on oppo-
site sides of the JoneSbOr0 road, over
the Clayton county line, lived the two
families of Handy and Starnes. For
thirty years they have been prominent
citizens of that section. To each came
an increase of family equally pro-
all boys and the Starnes were girls.
The children, ten in number, lived to-
gether as one family, land it was the most
natural thing in the world for the oldest
Mr.. Handy and the first-born Miss
StarneS to unite in WedlOck. This mar
rage was followed by the next couple,
and so on down to the fourth, when MIR.
Starnes violently protested against let
ting the HambyS have any more of his
daughters. The marriage was permit
ted to take place, however, but with the
permission was registered VOW that it
should be the last tie between the fam
lilies. Two weeks ago the elder Handy,
pere, passed away land during the period
up between the two families. This was
fatal step for Mr.. Starnes, because
Oh Friday night he missed his youngest
and only single daughter, only to
learn that the youngest of the Hambys
was also missing. Then it was
that the truth flashed upon his mind.
Mounting his horse he rode over the
neighborhood in search of the pair.
When he struck the trail it was we'll on
to daylight Saturday. Following it he
reached the house of a justice of the
peace near JOnesboro, and from that
gentleman learned that he had married
found in town. The interview, when he
found them, was stormy one, and he
left them in a rage. Reaching home he
had his buggy hitched up and drove in
front of the widows house.
Come, old lady," said he, ''let us
finish up this business. If the Hambys
are to have the whole family 1 might as
well know it at once"
The astonished widow did not know
what to make of him.
''Get in," said he, pushing her by the
shoulder. "Get in the buggy at once
There must be no more fooling about the
matter"
Pushing her by main force into his
buggy, Starnes took his seat by her, and
whipping up his horse, was in Squire
Tomlin's parlOr before the widow knew
what was the matter.
marry us quick" was Starnes's en-
phatic request. II am going to put an
end to this excitement about my place.

The couple are now established in the
Starnes house, and people from far and
near are calling upon them to congratu-
late them.

"a Bold French Adventures.

London Telegraph.
One of the ablest and most remark
able adventuresses who has ever APP
peared before the Paris tribunals has
just been tried for series of clever
swindlings. She is thin, delicate,
amber-visaged woman, about forty
years of age, who described herself as a
descendant of the First Grenadier of
France, whose name is still called out
at the muster paradeS of his regiment,
the reply being dramatically given:
"Dead, on the field of honor" Her
name, in short, was printed on her cards
as Henrietta de la Tour d'Auvergne, and
she passed as an illegitimate daughter
of a prince of that house, and accord
ingly as niece of the late Archbishop of
Bourges and of Gen. de la Tour dAu-
vergne, who died in Algeria. Assum-
ing his title and name, the sham prin-
cess bambOozled lot of pious people,
priests and parvenus, who liked to hang
on to scion of nobility, and she actu-
ally lived luxuIiOusly and in great state
on the donations which were sent to her
for the poor. Strange to say, the present
Prince de la Tour de la d 'Avergne knew
that the woman was passing herself off
as his natural sister, but he never took
any proceedings against her. 1t appears

the next day she surprised her friends
by appearing on the street with cane.
1t wasn't the ordinary dude cane, but
nice little stick with shepherds crook
OF hammered silver. Sometimes she
swung it, and at other times she struck
the ground with sharp rap. There is
no question that this created a .sensa-
ton, but there is a great deal OF differ
ence of opinion as to whether the craze
will strike in or not. So far not more
than half dozen girls have mustered
up courage enough to appear on the

the Sisters have been conducting for many
years, on ths corner Of Nelson aud Western

its surrounding grounds aud outhouses, an

Of instruction {, vers everything from the
primary departments to the long list Of
studies which the graduate has mastered.
Last year the roll 81 students was very
large. There were young ladies from ali

near devouring the village. The woods
and fields in every direction about Cedar
Springs are on fire, and pretty much every

ing to save farm property. Fire broke out
In the pineries near Grandville, and there
IS danger OF the village burning up. Fires

The Terrible Drouth in uline;s.

Chicago Special; The effects OF thedrouth
In Chicago were noticeable in many small
fires, but they convey no idea Of the condi-
tion OF things in the country Immediately
surrounding the city. Never before have the
farmers and residents OF the suburbs SUI,
fered so from the heat and dry weather. All
around the vegetables OF the small garden
ers have been killed. All along the rail.
road tracks the prairies are on fire, and
residents OF the suburbs are called out at
all hours of the day and night to extin-
guish the flames when they threaten the
barns and houses. At Western Spring a
valuable grove of young trees has been
completely destroyed and the neighboring
dwellings were only saved by the greatest
efforts on the part Of the villagers. Along
the Rock island road things were even
worse. Fences all along the line OF the
road are on fire, and the air is constantly
filed with the smoke Of the burning prairie
grass. At South E~nglewood every one
was called out OF church recently TO fight
the fire, and when the male residents
were in the city, the ladies Of the village
had TO turn out and extinguish the flames.
Cattle are actually suffering for want of
water and stand for hours lowing in their
distress. At Washington Heights water
has been So scarce that it has been soldfor
five cents a pail and found a ready mar

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Reports Concerning thc Great DrOuth East Of
the Mississippi.

Chicago paper summing up the reports
received by it OF drOutA, prairie fires, ruin
ed crops, etc, says therr is an area per
haps $4,000 square miles, ia the northwest
where the dust lies heavy upon the earth.
The district is bounded by Madison on thu
north, Bloomington on the south. Lake
Michigan on Il, east, and the Miesisaippl
river on the west. 1t il within the limits Ui
these boundaries that the vegetation has
lost its normal color and the earth its
moisture. In southern Wisconsin, there
are thousands OF acres where corn will not
yield Il peck to the acre. Wells have run
dry, n in some towns water iamines are
immin8nt. Typhoid is becoming more
prevalent and dysentary and other stom-
ach disturbances are SO common in some
places as to be almost epidemic. Unlsss
rain falls before many days, the suffering
will be greatly augmented. Hundreds Of
COWS are being killed and shipped to market
Tor q mere pittance. Added to all the mis-.
cries attending the heat and drouth is the
constant fear OF fires. The tall grass Of the
prairie is dead, the fields are ready to burst
into flame, and leaves lie in heaps in the
forest. In some towns the people are
often called on three or four times a day
10 fight the flames. Destructive fires have
been raging for many days at Kenosha,
Racine and Walworth counties, in Wiscon-
sin. Thousands OF acres nave been swept
by the flames, and the loss to farmers in
hay, grain, fencing and buildings is very
great. Above Madison the logs arc burn
ing 6ercely, and the pungent smoke hangs
over the country for miles around. The
Northern Illinois fires are so numerous
that the farmers have plowed the ground
about their buildings in order to check the
spreading OF the flames,
